This Austrian center-back is a serene force, utilizing blistering speed and imposing strength to neutralize attackers without ever losing her composure. Legend has it she once broke up a counter-attack while casually reading a book on the bench, only to sprint onto the pitch and strip the ball with surgical precision. Her only flaw is a lackluster leap that makes it seem like she has lead in her boots when jumping, but her defensive IQ more than compensates for any aerial lapses.
